CHEM120 Week 7 iLab: DNA‚ mRNA‚ and Protein (30 points) Name: Kaylee Klefman Complete the two questions below. Each question has four parts. This assignment is two pages long. Question 1: For the following double-stranded DNA sequence‚ -CATTGACCGTAA- -GTAACTGGCATT- Answer the following questions: a) Assume that RNA polymerase will read the top strand of DNA as the “template” to synthesize mRNA. What will be the sequence of the mRNA synthesized? (3 points) The new mrna

DNA is the primary genetic material that makes each individual different. DNA is the molecule that makes up chromosomes each pair of chromosomes contains DNA from one parent. DNA is found in the nuclei of eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells in living organisms. DNA is so important it is unable to leave the nucleus therefore the body makes RNA to carry information out into the cytoplasm. The three major components of DNA nucleotide monomers are phosphate‚ 5 carbon ring sugar (de-oxyribose) and

DNA analyzing has been playing an increasingly role in the medical field. Genetic diseases’ rate is progressively growing but with the new technology‚ doctors are able now to reduce that high rate by using new invention. For example‚ with DNA analyzing doctors have the ability to reorganize the genetic disorder to make it better. Furthermore‚ now they can catalyze human body’s cells to produce a healing or therapeutic substance that could control the disease instead of fighting it. In another point

Discovery of DNA Erwin Chargaff: Chargaff was an Austrian biochemist‚ he was best known for “Chargaff’s Rules” which lead to the discovery of DNA’s double helix structure. He immigrated to New York and secured a position as a research associate in the biochemistry department at Columbia University. Became a full-fledged professor in 1952. He used chromatographic techniques in his research. It was in the U.S.‚ 1950’s where he was able to make the crucial elements‚ in which lead to the formation

hospital where they take swabs from your vaginal area in hopes to collect enough Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) to create a sample that can be added to the “Combined DNA Index System (CODIS)” (May & McIntyre‚ 2002‚ p. v). A few years have passed and you hear a knock on your front door. It is a police detective who has come to your home to tell you that an arrest has been made in your case based on a DNA match made from a mouth swab taken from a man who was arrested a few days earlier for robbery.

Can you expect to extract more DNA from a strawberry or kiwi fruit? Introduction: In the experiment we were inspecting the amount of genetic materials in fruits with different numbers of chromosomes. In the experiment‚ we mashed up a strawberry/kiwi fruit (See appendix 1 figure 2) added extraction butter and ethanol to extract the DNA. A chromosome is a long thread-like cluster of genes in the nucleus. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)‚ a self-replicating material which is present in nearly all living

With a new study on evolution‚ scientists have discovered that the mitochondrial genomes of birds have found two mutations within the mitochondrial genomes within fifty years. Within those fifty years it has shown two mutations within the mitochondrial genomes which can debunk the two percent of evolution per million years. By studying individual chickens Professor Greger Larson at Oxford University’s Research Laboratory for Archaeology‚ they have found two mutations in the mitochondrial genomes

Biochemical Prospective of DNA polymerase in Replication Biologists and chemists have long recognized a relationship among DNA‚ RNA‚ and protein‚ and this recognition has guided a vast amount of research over the past decades and generations. The pathway of DNA to RNA and RNA to protein is conserved in all forms of life and is often called the Central Dogma. DNA functions as a storage molecule‚ holding genetic information for the lifetime of a cellular organism‚ and allowing that information

INTRODUCTION: NULL HYPOTHEISIS: Mental disorders are not present in animals. HYPOTHESIS: As much as life has evolved‚ the relationship between animals and humans has remained very close to each other. If animals are‚ evolutionally‚ and genetically similar to humans; can they develop the same diseases we have today? Humans today
